Orthomol Choline Plus 60 Cap

Orthomol Choline Plus with milk thistle

Orthomol Choline Plus is a food supplement with choline as a contribution to the maintenance of normal liver and silymarin from milk thistle extract.

Orthomol Choline Plus contains:
• Choline as a contribution to the maintenance of normal liver and silymarin from milk thistle extract
• Choline contributes to normal lipid metabolism and to normal homocysteine metabolism

The milk thistle (Silybum marianum) was grown even in medieval times in German monastery gardens and nowadays is widespread above all in Europe and Asia. It contains silymarin, for example.

In human metabolism, choline is converted to acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is an important neurotransmitter, ie transmitter of nerve signals.

Nerves and memory
Acetylcholine is involved as a signal transmitter in the control of nerve processes, memory processes, mood moods and behavior. Also, the transmission of stimuli to the muscles requires acetylcholine. Important aspects include breathing, heart rate, blood pressure or metabolic processes in general.

Enzymes
Choline is central to the synthesis of various enzymes and interacts e.g. with noradrelin and melatonin. In addition, choline is involved in the metabolism of creatine.

Also important is the contribution of choline to the homocysteine ​​metabolism. Homocysteine ​​is a body-own degradation product and must be metabolized permanently. This is done with folic acid, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12. But betaine and choline also help break down homocysteine. A high homocysteine ​​level is now mentioned in one breath with high cholesterol, as both factors increase the long-term risk of arteriosclerosis and cardiovascular disease.

Liver
Choline transports the fatty acids (triglycerides) from the liver to the places needed in the body. In case of a choline deficiency, more fat is stored in the liver because this metabolic process is disturbed.
